About kDrive
kDrive is a cloud storage service from Infomaniak, a Swiss company, and part of its kSuite. It stores, shares and synchronises files, and Infomaniak presents it as a sovereign cloud. It has desktop sync apps as well as web access.
Documents can be edited together through OnlyOffice or Microsoft 365. It suits people and organisations who want Dropbox-style sync hosted in Switzerland instead of by a large US provider.
Strengths
- Hosted in Switzerland by an independent provider
- Collaborative editing with OnlyOffice or Microsoft 365

Limitations
- Hosted service; you cannot run it on your own server
- Requires an Infomaniak account
